No, just the tranny and engine together, just like a Porsche.  If you look
at the laundry list, it may seem harder to do (need to unbolt CVs, clutch
cable, shift coupler, starter wires, reverse switch wires, and front tranny
mount), but all that is very straightforward stuff.  It just seems to me
that the final part of putting the engine back into a tranny that doesn't
stay in one place very well is a royal pain...

Plus, it gives you a chance to regrease your CVs and check your tranny fluid
level with incredible ease.  Adding fluid to a tranny was never easier :-).

Take care,
